Motorola DS9208 Product Review POSGuys.com
Hi, this is Camille with POSGuys.com Today we're reviewing the Motorola DS9208
omni-directional hands-free presentation imager. This is the upgrade to the LS9208, and it
has some improved features which include not only
the ability to read 1D barcodes, but also the
ability to read 2D barcodes, and to be able to
read off cell phones. Some improvements on the new model are that
instead of scanning with a grid of lines, it scans
with a field of light, so you can then take a picture
of the barcode from any angle. It also has a pick-less mode, where you can
pick it up, hit the button, and the target will
change to a dot. So you can scan off a list, and
then you just click the button and it'll scan it.
Set it back down, and it'll just reset to hands-free mode.
It also works really well in bright light. [beep]
It scans just as easily. It supports all the standard interfaces including
USB, and when you have a USB cable you do not need
an external power supply. You can use the DS9208 to extend your customer
loyalty program, and as an example I'm going to
show you how to enter a customer into your system.
So I'm gonna go into CRE and get a new customer by adding them. So you just come and scan
the barcode on your loyalty card.
Come back into your program and fill out your necessary information, John Doe.
Save it into your system, and then exit out of there.
So one of the things that makes this more convenient
for your customers is that they can scan the barcode,
and store it on their phone. And then when they come back in, even if they
don't have the card, they can still scan the barcode.
For example, we're gonna find that customer, John Doe.
So we go into quick find, then I come back down,
go to my cell phone to find that picutre of the barcode.
And then just scan it back into the system, and as
you can see, John Doe is now logged in and his
information is down here, and he didn't even have
his card on him. The DS9208 is the newest scanner and has the
ability to read off cell phones. That'll allow you to
send out coupons, and to extend your customer loyalty program,
as well as accept electronic payments.
It comes in two modes, standard and drivers-license parsing,
so when you purchase it you'll need to specify that.
Drivers-license parsing is where it only gives you the
useful information off the drivers license. You would also need to specify the interface
cable, and purchase that separately. The scanner comes
with a 3-year manufacturers warranty, lifetime POSGuys support,
and has an optional service plan. If you'd like more
